Optico-mechanical scanning radiometer
Abstract
An opto-mechanical scanning radiometer is described. The optical systems (lenses and mirrors) are installed on a rotating drum so that the focal planes of all elements are coincident with the axis of rotation. The sensitive surface of the photodetector is located on the axis of rotation and is coupled to a drive system which displaces it along the axis synchronously with the drum's rotation. The optical systems turn about the axis of rotation in a plane at an angle equal to one-half the field of view of each objective for the purpose of simplification of the scanning mechanism and increasing coordinate reading accuracy.
